memorial-day-history

I think you would agree with me that we are, by nature, very selfish creatures. However, we are capable of making some very selfless decisions & doing some very unselfish deeds. Deciding to join the military & serve our country is one of those types of choices. No one knows going in just what that decision will cost them but they know the possibilities.

Memorial Day is all about remembering those who counted the cost then paid the ultimate price to ensure our freedoms. Some were killed in battle, others died after having lived a long life, but all served & should therefore be remembered & honored. All of us should consider the cost of war: lives lost & lives forever changed. Remember also the One that gave His life so that the grave isn’t the end but a glorious new beginning for all who put their faith in Him.
